North Georgia VEX V5 Robotics Competition (MS/HS)

General Info

We're excited to host this tournament once again at Ridgeland High School! This is a unique and fun event, blending teams from both Georgia and Tennessee.

Concessions will be available on site.

Matches will be in a gym with plenty of bleacher seating for spectators. 

 

Important Note:

Our tournament was sadly cancelled last year due to weather. If you registered and paid to attend our event last year, we will apply that payment to this year's tournament. Just register with the "pay later" option, and I will mark your teams as paid (for however many teams you had registered last year). 

 

Here are a few reminders to address before the event to ensure your team is ready for competition:

1. Make sure your teams have read the most current version of the game manual and are familiar with all the rules. Check the official VEX forums and VEX website for rule updates and changes.

2. Make sure all of your robots will pass inspection. 

3. Carefully read all of the information contained in the tournament posting. 

4. Pack for the event the day before departure. Here are a few items you don't want to forget:
* Safety Glasses
* Spare parts & tools
* Batteries and chargers
* Programming cable
* Power strip
* Laptop computer
* Engineering notebook

5. Prep for your interviews with the judges. 

6. Remember that safety is the number one priority. Please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team or others nearby.

7. Ensure that you have the latest version of firmware.

8. Make sure all participants have completed the release form (once per season).

We look forward to seeing you on January 23!
